Maryam's biography

Maryam started to paint at a very young age and
quickly found out that she could create an imaginary and harmonious world,
often containing many colourful characters, side-by-side. She took classes in
caricature and animation but only started to paint seriously about
five years ago with the help and encouragement of her partner, Paul Matthews.

Maryam's paintings are composed in a
non-judgmental way, scenes sometimes seen in dreams or appearing as the pencil
touches the paper and then spreading across it. The compositions range from
semi-abstracted scenes of flora and fauna to expressive human scenes of tension
and emotion.

Art is more than just an activity that brings
Maryam pleasure and relaxation; it is her means of self-expression, the point
of access to a world without boundaries or artificial constraints.
